Tell us about your job

[RedJoker]

This is an idea stolen from El Diablo's forum, it worked well there and also in BBV4L.

Many young posters here are often unsure what career path they want to take, so if you have/had a job in the finance or investment industry or anything realated, we'd like to hear about it.

What do you do? Do you like it? What makes you in particular well-suited or poorly-suited for your work? What kind of people do best in your work? What qualifications are necessary for people considering work in the same field as you? What is a typical day like? What kind of problems do you encounter? What are the biggest (most common) sources of frustration and elation? How much do you make? How much can one expect to make in your position? How old are you and what is your education level (from what school)? How long have you been in the workforce?

Feel free to ignore any questions that you don't want to answer.
